Subject: Pietenpol-List: Full size rib plansAfter discovering that the "Full size rib plans" ordered from Don Pietenpol don't match the 34 plans I searched the archives and read about many peoples solution to the problem. They range from "throw the rib plans in the trash andplot the point from the main plans" to "just use the full size plans, a quarterinch here and there doesn't make any difference".So I would just like to know is their is a consensus of opinion on this. Are the full size plans a improved design from the original (I also noticed vertical braces were added next to the spars on the full size plans), or just atracing of someones rib using a very dull pencil and very wrinkled paper?I know that the paper the plans are printed on can shrink and expand but that alone doesn't account for all the differences.ThanksRick HollandColorado________________________________________________________________________________
